Low-Carb Pancakes
"If you are watching your carbs and craving pancakes, here is a breakfast you will like.
To obtain almond meal, put some almonds in your food processor and pulse them until they are the consistency of cornmeal. Be careful if you over-pulse, you will obtain almond butter :)."

Can I use banana flour and egg whites in this rcp?
-
Do you need the 2 tablespoons of oil in the recipe? It bumped the calorie total up by over 200 cals which was frustrating. Thank you -
Any idea what I can use to mask the eggy flavour? Thank you

I'm obsessed with these pancakes . Seriously . I am a recovering carb addict . These pancakes keep my keto diet in check while satisfying the craving for pancakes I have ALL THE TIME . I use almond meal flour by Bob's Red Mill so these are very quick to mix and cook. I use almond milk whipping cream or water instead of sparkling water. I have also made them without sweetener Bc the syrup gives enough added sweetness for me . Thank you for this recipe ! I was looking for a pancake alternative and the options out there just weren't good :) -
I substituted half water and heavy whipping cream for the sparkling water since I didn't have any. These are amazing and I have made them almost everyday for a week now. Thank you. This is such a simple recipe I can honestly have it thrown together in the same time it would take me to make something from a box. My son ate one and exclaimed it tastes just like the cream puffs I buy him at the store. If he likes it, I know it's a winner. Thank you for sharing. -
Not sure why I'm the only one who doesn't like these pancakes. They are grainy and heavy, it was like eating cornbread batter. They looked good. Fortunately I added blueberries which may have saved them. I couldn't finish them. -
Excellent recipe...added some flax seed meal and baking powder to add more puff...taste so good! -
It was not pretty (first batch) but it was very good. Easy to make and limited ingredients . Thats a good thing. I used diet Tonic Water and added big plump blueberry's . Cannot wait to Make them again

I add a splash of vanilla extract. And use only super fine almond flour(makes a huge difference). Also if you add some sugar free choco chip cookies you really don’t need the added sweetener. Drizzle with sugar free syrup (I love LogCabin).

I didn't have sparkling water so I used water; subsistuted 1/4 cup of Almond flour with coconut flour; added 1/2 tsp baking powder. Variations: 1. Added blueberries to batter (good); 2. Added chopped apple and cinnamon (good). 3. Added chopped/chunked Quest rocky road bar (AWESOME! - choc brownie bar would be good too) -
I'm not a fan of almond flour at all but it was very good in these pancakes. No sparkling water here either so I used the heavy whipping cream instead. Don't get me wrong because they're not like regular pancakes but they are close. For those of us on low-carb diets for a while, we have forgotten how flour tastes in recipes like this anyway. It really was a real treat and I rate this recipe excellent. -
